Important
- You will only be rewarded Gridcoin for whitelisted BOINC projects. Any BOINC work done outside of the whitelisted BOINC projects will not be rewarded
- Some of these projects may currently be on the greylist The most accurate source for whitelist/greylist information will always be your Gridcoin wallet.
- There are a total of 16 projects whitelisted
- You can check whitelisted project details on Gridcoinstats.
Greylist
When projects are running out of work or are offline for temporary maintenance they are placed on the Greylist. These projects will not reward Gridcoin until they meet the requirements to be placed back on the whitelist again. Please see various social media (Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Slack) for notices about greylisted projects.
The whitelist process wiki page outlines the Greylist procedure for all whitelisted projects.
Whitelisted Projects
To check if a project is on the greylist, in your wallet go to Hamburger Menu > Settings > Researcher Wizard > Projects (or the listprojects command)
Any project shown is not greylisted. Your wallet must be fully synced for the latest info.

| Asteroids@home | Asteroid research - it uses photometric measurements of asteroids observed by professional big all-sky surveys as well as 'backyard' astronomers. The data is processed using the lightcurve inversion method and a 3D shape model of an asteroid together with the rotation period and the direction of the spin axis are derived. | Charles University in Prague | ✔️ |

| Milkyway@home | Creation of a 3D map of the Milky Way galaxy using data gathered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This project enables research in both astroinformatics and computer science. | Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute | ✔️ | ❌ | not required | 📊 | 📈 |
| NFS@Home | Lattice sieving step in Number Field Sieve factorization of large integers. Many public key algorithms, including the RSA algorithm, rely on the fact that the publicly available modulus cannot be factored. If it is factored, the private key can be easily calculated. | California State University Fullerton | ✔️ | ❌ | not required | 📊 | 📈 |
| NumberFields@home | Research in number theory. Number theorists can mine the data for interesting patterns to help them formulate conjectures about number fields. | Arizona State University, school of Mathematics | ✔️ |
|
required | 📊 | 📈 |
| ODLK1 | OLDK is building a database of canonical forms of diagonal Latin squares of the 10th order | ✔️ | ❌ | not required | 📊 | 📈 | |
| Rosetta@Home | Protein structure prediction that may ultimately lead to finding cures for some major human diseases. | University of Washington | ✔️ | ❌ | not required | 📊 | 📈 |
| SiDock@Home | Works on drug discovery with COVID-19 as its primary focus | COVID.SI project. Accepts Gridcoin and BTC donations | ✔️ | ❌ | not required | 📊 | 📈 |
| SRBase | Attempting to solve Sierpinski / Riesel Bases up to 1030. | The project is in collaboration with the Mersenne CRUS project. | ✔️ |

| TN-Grid | The gene@home project is an implementation of the PC-IM algorithm, whose purpose is to expand Gene Regulatory Networks (GRN). Each network is a graph that specifies the causal relationships inside this set of genes, and helps in studying the gene expression phenomenon: the process through which the DNA is transcribed into RNA and the RNA translated into proteins. | National Research Council of Italy (CNR) | ✔️ | ❌ | not required | 📊 | 📈 |
| Universe@home | Physics and Astronomy | University of Warsaw | ✔️ | ❌ | required | 📊 | 📈 |
| World Community Grid | FightAIDS@home, Smash Childhood Cancer, fight Tuberculosis, research better materials for solar panels. | Krembil Research Institute | ✔️ |

About GDPR
GDPR is a law in the European Union on data privacy. Some projects have interpreted it to mean that to sharing BOINC stats requires opting in. Solo crunchers must enable it to be rewarded because otherwise Gridcoin can't see how much work you've done and figure out how much you are owed
NOTE: Only solo crunchers on these projects need to follow these steps. Pool cruncher don't need to because your pool has already done it
Currently the whitelisted projects that require this are:
Einstein@home (steps to enable)
NumberFields@home (steps to enable)
Universe@home (steps to enable)
World Community Grid (steps to enable)
Whitelist Process
Want a project whitelisted? Ask about it on the #whitelisting-committee channel on the Gridcoin Discord! More details about adding a project to the whitelist can be found on the whitelist process wiki page
The whitelist was created to increase security and to focus user's resources on active projects. See historical discussion
